    Tartan Trews now available

    I didn't know exactly where to put this thread, since technically it's not kilts, but...

    I wanted to let the rabble know that you can now order tartan trews from the Scottish Tartans Museum gift shop. Four different styles available.

    Oh Noooo ...

    Matt,

    That just isn't nice! Just when I thought I could justify an 8 yard tank in Maclachlan Modern, you put ... this ... up!

    Yeah, now back to the drawing board, trying to convince my SO that I need a tank AND some trews!

    Very nice, though. Maybe the SO will give in after she sees them ...

    Not likely but I'll have to try.

    Oh no! Something else to add to the wish list. Those look great.

    I see you've used the Graham of Mentieth tartan, thats just not fair, very nice Matt, very nice indeed, these may just be the answer to -40 winter temps.

    Question, Matt- do you know of anyone who manufactures 1600's style truis? I like the modern variant, but I want a pair of historical ones for my reenactment group.

    I think the idea of the high waist, Argyle trews is neat.

    You will find that your trews will hang better if you wear "Chelsea" type boots, rather than shoes. In another life I used to wear "Wellington boots"(not the rubber things!) with very tight tailored uniform trousers(worn over the boots) and they, I suspect, would be the correct footwear for trews.
